Mark, make use of its symetry, model half. Draw the front elevation elements on the front plane, draw the plan view on the top plane, making sure it aligns with the front view. Insert 3d sketch, convert entities of both sketches. If you've drawn both with the right plane as the centre you can then use the right plane to draw the profile and sweep. Mirror body.

Welcome to the forums!!! The easiest way would be to draw a 3d sketch of the path of the wire then another sketch of the profile and do a swept boss/base. Click the link below for more info on Swept Boss/Base.

I'd like to give you another idea. If you're going to be modeling wires very often, you might look at saving round profile sketches in needed sizes and saving them as .sldlfp files (weldment profile), then when you need the wire you only need to sketch the path and use the Structural Member function from the Weldments toolbar to use the saved profile sketch to extrude. I don't do wires, but I use this method for modeling rebar and cables. It will take a little time to get it set up, but it will save time later.

Anyway, I don't want to overwhelm you with too much info when you're learning SW, but keep it in the back of your mind and you might want to look at it when you get a little bit more comfortable with the software.

Thanks for the tip Glenn. This is something that I will most likely do as I like to have a on demand type library. I do not work with wires often, this is actually the first time I've had to make a wire in the 2 years I've been using SW.

Modeling cables is my next step however familar to the wire I think I'm overthinking it a little bit as I feel they should be pretty basic things.
